Streamcast Ep 7: AI identity in 2026 — The midyear reality check

While AI agents are now an integral part of every organization, the reality of successfully deploying and securing these agents is messy, unpredictable, and moving faster than anyone expected.

As adoption accelerates, executives face a familiar paradox: how to manage AI identity security without slowing down growth - all whilst balancing speed and ROI. Teams are wrestling with explosive adoption outpacing security controls, token costs spiraling, and new regulations arriving with no playbook.

In this midyear check-in with Forrester analyst and Okta leaders, you’ll walk away knowing:

• How to secure AI agents by treating them as first-class identities.
• Why centralized governance is critical and how to implement it.
• How to scale AI agents confidently with every action authorized and defensible. 
• How to apply Forrester’s AEGIS framework—Least Agency, Continuous Risk Assessment, and Explainable Outcomes—to govern agentic behaviors.
